Despite being the second youngest on the list, 20 year-old Jennifer
Lawrence has been named the top actress under 30 by subscription
service LOVEFiLM.

Lawrence, who plays the young version of Mystique in X-Men:
First Class, beat out both Anne Hathaway and Britain’s Carey
Mulligan. The accolade is based on a combination of critical and
commercial success and is no doubt primarily due to her high
profile role as Katniss. Go Jennifer!

Lionsgate announced in a press release that Donald Sutherland
has been cast as President Snow in the film adaptation of The
Hunger Games.

This seems like another great bit of casting. Sutherland is
known for playing mysterious, often malevolent characters and he
fits the book's description of the character as thin and
unassuming. He will surely be a strong presence for lead actors
Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson to contend with.

What do you think, will Donald Sutherland make a good President
Snow? Let us know!

The Insider has just reported that the first photo of Jennifer
Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen in the highly anticipated 'The Hunger
Games' film has been released- on the cover of Entertainment Weekly
no less.

When it was first announced that Jennifer would be playing the
intrepid female heroine alongside Josh Hutcherson as love interest
Peeta Mellark, we asked everybody in a poll what their reaction
was. Out of 257 votes, 9.5% said they thought she was perfect and
63% said she was not their first choice but could live with it, and
28% said she was too old.

Given this new photo of the natural blond now brunette,
steely-eyed, and armed with the character's signature bow and
arrow, I'm wondering whether folks aren't starting to warm to the
choice…
